Policy Pause: DSPs Need Higher Wages
Do you often think that you need to get paid more for the work you do? Most likely you do, and so do Reps. Lois Capps (D-CA) and Lee Terry (R-NE), co-sponsors of H.R. 1279 Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) Fairness and Security Act of 2007.
This bill looks to allow states to secure federal Medicaid dollars in order to increase wages for DSPs.
Introduced March 1, 2007, this bill is currently stuck in committee and needs to be further pursued and debated.

It appears that HR 1279 is floating aimlessly in the water. Is there anything we can do to fire up support for this bill? I have written letters to my US Reps but they were already co-sponsors, so no new support there.
Anyone have any celebrity contacts we can utilize to endorse DSP issues?
